      Would you like to know from someone who predicted the current situation over one and a half decade ago what really is going on.
      Seen it through looking into the occult with help of other people exposing this in the U.S. etc.
      Even predicting the Dutch coalition in 2010 ten months ahead of time due to Freemason symbolism, rituals and ritual dates.(10-13-2010-announcement new coalition dutch government recognized on 14-10-2010 by knights of Malta “queen” Beatrix in ritual connection to the banker bailout on 10-13-2008 in reference to the original Friday the thirteen 10-13-1307 the day the templars got prosecuted.
      Same way I predicted the “33” Chilean mineworker would be saved on 10-13-2010 as a false flag rescue attempt by Freemason controlled NASA to glorify the at that time unpopular Freemason president of Chili that had served under Pinochet.
      Could go on and on but see for yourself what really is going on, just watch and learn.

      I turn it on and watch episodes..from the beginning..multiple times. It’s nice not to have the world’s turmoils fed to you..well..(except for the horrible commercials). I found this channel as he posted his third episode in Italy. It’s been a blessing, especially since he posts every week.

    Aside from Chiara's fascinating and vast knowledge of wild herbs, the first few scenes with her were of a cinematic quality that were likely the envy of many filmmakers. It seems from the comments, that I wasn't the only one to have noticed. Whilst there was nothing untoward or any suggestion of any romance, the scenes were incredibly romantic in the broadest sense of the word encapsulating and connecting all the factors of the natural surroundings as well as the two wonderful people in the video.

    I appreciate how much you keep your episodes real for us, Martijn. You aren’t spinning a fairytale for us, but sharing the actual way that life flows. It’s what makes your story relatable to so many of us, even though we may be living on the 4th floor in a busy city (me) not building a cabin homestead (you.). I recognize the moments of weariness, calm, satisfaction, and frustration. That’s part of the deep pleasure that comes from sharing someone’s real life. We are the same. Thanks for what you do each week.

    Don't let them out of the coop before mid-morning. They tend to lay eggs in the morning. Keep the straw in the nest boxes nice and fluffy and change it regularly. If you see your hen settling down in the wrong nesting spot, gently grab her and move her to the nest. Provide artificial light in winter. They need at least 14 hours of light each day. If you notice your hens trying to sleep on the nesting box remove then, if they sleep on the nesting boxes, they will not lay eggs there.

      He sometimes seems from a bygone era but it's also this region of northern Italy that seems from a bygone era, which was exquisite and natural (in some regards) at the same time. It's not necessarily "insane skills", he has simply had lots of practice and experience and a lot of effort and work, so in the end he gets his project to be finished and to be enjoyed.

    Been watching your videos from the time you acquired the two cabins. It's been quite a journey for you and for us who have been following. You are a cinematographer, and an artist. You know how to keep the flow of a storyline going without much talk. You also know how to show just enough of what you are doing to give an idea of what's happening. There is continuity without becoming boring and repetitive. This is "hands down" the best youtube channel, among the ones I have subscribed to. There is class, rustic elegance, and so much more. You give your viewers vicarious enjoyment week after week, even in imagining what a one week old coffee cinnamon bread must taste like. Makes me wish I could have a bite or two. Just wanted to leave this comment, so you also hear what an Asian viewer thinks of your channel. Till next week's episode! P. S. I could watch an entire episode devoted to your four chickens.

    There are historically few artistic visions on earth that are so beautifully inspiring and often depicted by the brush of an artist than a woman walking through a sunny field in a brimmed hat picking edible flowers, fruits, and greens. Martijn is a true Renaissance man living amongst us documenting not only his skills and determination, but also his foibles and imperfections. And he never lets us forget the beauty of an insect landing on a flower or the artful nature of the earth providing us so much abundance to truly enjoy every day that we are alive on it.😇

    What I know about growing potatoes is this. Cut the potatoes into sections that have eyes/roots starting to grow. Let those sections dry until they (scab over?) overnight or a day, and then plant the pieces, what he did will work too……by the way you only need a rooster if you want fertilized eggs…and the rooster will do his best to protect them….they are going to lay anyway as soon as they are old enough. The fake eggs will encourage them to lay in the nests instead of hiding them away. Looking forward to next weeks video!🌝
